Recently, we've been working hard on developing a PDF translation feature, which is something many users have been asking for. We could have rolled out some solutions that other products already offer quite early, but we didn't feel they were perfect. We want to provide our users with a more complete experience. Currently, we've integrated some superior processing methods, and most of the time, we can achieve a complete translation of PDFs. Below are some features we're about to launch, so stay tuned:

• PDF word and sentence translation

We've recently completed a comprehensive upgrade of our AI subtitles. To deliver superior results, we've implemented a new approach and deployed higher-performance GPU servers. After extensive development and optimization, we've achieved significant improvements. Compared to other AI subtitle services, Trancy already offers very competitive pricing and flexible time limits. We've consistently aimed to provide better service at competitive prices in our product development, striving to make language learning more accessible for people worldwide.

However, these performance enhancements have substantially increased our server costs. After careful consideration, we'll be implementing another round of price adjustments at the end of October 2024, with an expected increase of 15%. For users who maintain continuous subscriptions before this date, we'll honor the original discounted price. The price adjustment will only affect new users who register after this date. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

The birth of Trancy mainly solved my own usage needs. My native language is not English, but I like to watch YouTube, where there are many videos that can be used to learn, not just language learning, but also to help me better understand the world. So I was looking for a better extensions to help me understand the video, and there were extensions on the market that could meet my needs, such as Language Reactor and Ejoy, but I felt that they weren't sophisticated enough, so I found a good product design friend and worked with him. After 6 months of hard work, the first version of Trancy was born.
